Engineering Department-Specific Qualifications:
(i) Department of Biotechnology:
(a) The Candidate should be B.E./B.Tech and/or M.E./M.Tech in the relevant branches of
Engineering/Technology out of which either B.E./B.Tech. or M.E./M.Tech should be in
Biotechnology/ Environmental Biotechnology/ Biochemical engineering

Biological science and Bioengineering/ Computational biology.
(b) Apart from above qualification, the Candidate with M.Sc./MS/M.Pharma in
Biotechnology/Industrial Biotechnology/Environment Biotechnology/Biochemical Engineering/ Biochemical Technology/ Environmental Engineering/ Biomedical
Technology/Biochemistry/Microbiology/Bioinformatics/ Pharmacy and in allied areas of
Biotechnology with GATE/NET/GPAT in Biotechnology/Life sciences/Pharmacy are also
eligible.
(c) The candidates with GATE/CSIR-UGC NET/GPAT do not require to clear Institute written
examination for shortlisting towards “presentation and interaction” session. The admission to the PhD programme shall be solely based upon performance of the individual candidates
during “presentation and interaction” and availability of the Supervisor in the proposed area of research.
(d) The M.E./M.Tech/M.Pharma candidates without GATE/NET/GPAT need to clear Institute
written examination for shortlisting towards “presentation and interaction” session. Once
selected based on the “presentation and interaction” session, they can join in PhD (full time) programme with stipend.
(e) The M.Sc/ MS/M.Pharma candidates without GATE/CSIR-UGC NET/GPAT need to clear
Institute written examination for shortlisting towards “presentation and interaction” session. Once selected based on the “presentation and interaction” session, they can join in PhD (part time) programme.
(ii) Department of Chemical Engineering: The qualification for admission to PhD programme in the Department is Master Degree in Chemical Engineering or its allied branches. Master degree in Science (Chemistry or its equivalent) must have qualified in GATE/NET for scholarship. However, the candidate with Master degree in Science without GATE/NET can join in PhD (Part-Time) Programme.

Admission Procedure
i. Candidates with GATE/NET (JRF/LS)/ UGC (JRF/LS) /GPAT/ Inspire Fellow / Sponsored by some outside agency as a full-time candidate need not clear Institute written examination. For all other candidate Institute written examination is to be cleared. However, GATE/NET (JRF/LS)/ UGC (JRF/LS) /GPAT/ Inspire Fellow/ Sponsorship from outside agency or Institute Examinations are only for shortlisting of the applicants. Mere shortlisting of an applicant does not confirm admission to Ph.D. Programme. The admission shall be solely based upon the performance of individuals during “presentation and interaction”
and availability of the Supervisor in the proposed area of research.
ii. The admission to PhD programme (Full-Time/Part-Time) in all disciplines mentioned in this advertisement shall be made purely on the basis of a “presentation” to be made by the shortlisted applicants in their proposed area of research followed by “interaction” to be conducted by the respective Department Admission Committee. Mere shortlisting of an applicant does not confirm admission to Ph.D. Programme.
iii. Shortlisting of candidates (other than GATE/NET (JRF/LS)/ UGC (JRF/LS)/GPAT/ Inspire Fellow / Sponsored by some outside agency as a full-time candidate) shall be done by Departmental Admission Committee for the process of “presentation and interaction” for the applicants. For this purpose, a screening test shall be conducted by the respective Departments. Only those applicants who score marks above the cutoff of 40%, i.e. 24 marks out of 60 for UR category candidates, and 35% i.e. 21 out of 60 for
SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PWD candidates in the screening test shall be eligible for presentation and interaction process. Marks obtained in the screening test shall not be counted for preparation of final merit list of the successful candidates.
iv. The Pattern of Examination shall be as of GATE and NET examination. The Screening Test will be of MCQ Mode.
